Example 1: the muesli

Partner A moves the bag of muesli to another kitchen cupboard. Partner B can no longer find the bag and assumes the most logical thing: the bag of muesli is finished. Partner A, however, expects that Partner B “knows” the bag has been moved.

This leads to misunderstandings.

Example 2: communication

Partner A expects that Partner B will immediately understand everything she says, without extra context. She does not realize that her explanation can be understood in different ways.

Partner B, on the other hand, notices that she often struggles with implicit context and therefore communicates more explicitly, so the chance of misunderstandings becomes smaller.
